Twitter appears to have restored the functionality for logged-out users to view individual tweets, according to TechCrunch and Engadget. Last Friday, the platform began barring non-logged-in users from seeing public tweets and profiles on the platform. According to Twitter owner Elon Musk, restricting access was a "temporary emergency measure" to counteract data pillaging, which was "degrading service for normal users."
In addition to tweet visibility restrictions, Twitter is limiting daily tweet access, citing a need to combat harmful bots that scrape the platform for data.
